Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 585 Fiery Dragon Armor, Fusion! (Daily 10,000 words) (Remember to join the group if you subscribe to the full chapter, we'll be giving out red envelopes tomorrow!)

In an instant, terrifying soul power surged out from Xiao Hongchen's body, like a small mountain, pressing down on the Shrek Academy members like an overwhelming tide.

Soul Emperors like He Caitou and Wang Dong'er, or Soul Kings with profound foundations like Chen Ping and Huo Yuhao, didn't feel anything from this. But for Soul Masters in the reserve team, or even Soul Venerables who were a few levels away from becoming Soul Masters, the soul power aura emanating from Xiao Hongchen was terrifying.

A Soul Saint, a genuine Soul Saint, a seven-ring Soul Saint, a Soul Saint who has never appeared in the history of the competition!
This is also the first time in the history of the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament that a Soul Saint-level expert has appeared.

Even in the history of Shrek Academy, there has never been a Soul Saint at the age of twenty. Yet Xiao Hongchen has achieved that.

At this moment, the pressure released by Xiao Hongchen was like a raging storm, and the surging and violent pressure instantly filled every part of the Shrek reserve team members' bodies. They could even hear their bones making slight noises under the pressure.

In an instant, the expressions of the other team members nearby also changed. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy had actually produced a seven-ring Soul Saint!

Could it be that Shrek Academy is really going to lose this time?
Even if they only lost the third round of the knockout stage, instead of actually losing the championship ranking, it would still be almost unacceptable for Shrek Academy, right?

Moreover, in a competition, if you can lose once, you can lose a second or third time. No matter how strong Shrek Academy is, can they win against a top-tier team led by a seven-ring Soul Saint?
"Why are you scaring the students in the reserve team? Do you think that all you, a seventh-ring Soul Saint, can do is scare students who are at least five years younger than you?"

Chen Ping snorted coldly, and yellow and black patterns rose from the soles of his feet, then quickly enveloped the entire Shrek Academy rest area.

In an instant, Chen Ping seemed to transform into an ancient ferocious beast that had emerged from the primordial era, exuding a terrifying aura that threatened to devour anyone who dared to cross him.

The soul power emanating from Xiao Hongchen spread out from the yellow and black patterns beneath Chen Ping's feet, but it seemed to melt away like ice and snow, and was forced back into his body, unable to dissipate. This incredible performance instantly changed Xiao Hongchen's expression.

Could it be that Chen Ping is also a Seven-Ring Soul Saint?
No, even a seventh-ring Soul Saint should only be able to barely contend with him in terms of soul power pressure. How could he suppress his soul power pressure to the point that it couldn't even break through his body?
At this moment, Ju Zi and Xu Tianran had already arrived at the podium.

"Today's first round is a match between the Sun and Moon team and Shrek Academy, which should be very interesting," Xu Tianran said with a smile.

Orange smiled back: "Really? Then our Sun and Moon team will definitely be victorious."

Xu Tianran turned his head and glanced at Jing Hongchen not far away. Just as he was about to ask Jing Hongchen about his attitude, he saw the two academies clashing before the start of the competition.

"The Mirror Hall Master's grandson is indeed young and impetuous. Not bad, what kind of young man is he if he's not impetuous?"

Seeing the Shrek Academy reserve team members' faces change under the terrifying pressure of Xiao Hongchen's soul power, Xu Tianran smiled, a rare occurrence for him.

"Our Sun Moon Empire truly has a worthy successor! A seven-ring Soul Saint at less than twenty years old—this is probably the first of its kind in the entire Douluo Continent. It seems that Hall Master Jing no longer needs to worry about whether any of his juniors can shoulder the responsibility."

Although Jing Hongchen was secretly delighted, he still said, "My grandson is so ignorant. Even if he doesn't bring out the trump card of a seven-ring Soul Saint in the next confrontation with Shrek Academy, he should at least use it during the competition to catch them off guard."

"But thinking about it carefully, the reason why Xiaoxiao was able to break through to the seventh-ring Soul Saint is not only because her age was just right, but also because of that exchange and learning experience."

"The secret chamber of the golden ancient tree below Shrek Academy is truly amazing. It contains hundreds of chambers that allow any type of Soul Master to enter into deep meditation. It was because of that chamber that Xiaoxiao was able to successfully break through to the seventh ring and achieve the position of Soul Saint."

Xu Tianran waved his hand: "That's because the Mirror Hall Master's grandson has cultivated diligently enough. As the saying goes, 'Learn from the barbarians to subdue them.' Since Shrek Academy has given us such a great gift, why not turn around and give Shrek Academy a resounding defeat?"

Just as Xu Tianran was speaking, a terrifying yellow-black halo covering the entire rest area rippled out from under Chen Ping's feet, rendering Xu Tianran mute.

Not only Xu Tianran, but also Jing Hongchen and Zhongli Wu, who had been standing next to Xu Tianran without saying a word, couldn't help but freeze when they saw this scene.

This is, the field?
What domain did the three titled Douluo present not possess?

In Douluo Continent, domains are extremely rare. Saying that one in ten Title Douluos possesses a domain is an exaggeration. The accurate number should be that only one in dozens of Title Douluos possesses a domain.

Take their Holy Spirit Cult for example. There are only two people who truly possess a domain. One is the Silent Dark Domain of Dragon Emperor Douluo Long Xiaoyao, and the other is neither his, nor the domain of Vice Leader Feng Ling, nor the domain of Supreme Leader Ye Xishui. It is the domain of Ten Thousand Souls Douluo.

Yes, the concept of a domain isn't largely related to a Soul Master's strength; it's all about luck. Take that Ten Thousand Souls Douluo, for example—he was just an ordinary titled elder of the Holy Spirit Cult, but he was lucky enough to possess such a domain. Who can you complain to about that? Regardless, a domain should practically belong to a Titled Douluo. Even if you're exceptionally talented, a Soul Saint would be lucky to get a domain, right? What's with a Soul King having one?!

Seeing the Sun Moon Royal Academy team members, whose faces were pale from being suppressed by Chen Ping's ever-increasing domain aura, Xiao Hongchen felt powerless, even if he wanted to continue arguing with Chen Ping.

"Hmph, let's see on the field later. You better pray that your halo can really bridge the gap between us, which is as deep as the ocean trench."

Xiao Hongchen stubbornly uttered a harsh remark, then turned and left with his team. Only after they were out of Chen Pingxiong's territory did they finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Soon, one player from each side entered the arena simultaneously.

"The first match of the third round of the elimination tournament: Shrek Academy team versus Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy team. The first match of the individual elimination tournament, both sides announce their names."

"Sun and Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, Night's Demise."

"Shrek Academy, Wu Feng."

This member of the Sun and Moon team was tall, but appeared as thin as a skeleton, giving off a skin-and-bones feeling that sent chills down one's spine.

Moreover, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Wu Feng was filled with undisguised malice and murderous intent.

Ye Canshang, Soul King, Skeleton Martial Soul, is one of the members forcibly inserted into the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy by the Holy Spirit Cult.

This information was revealed by Chen Ping earlier using his Eye of True Sight and shared with Wu Feng.

Therefore, when Wu Feng confirmed that this guy was a member of the Holy Spirit Cult, the sect whose seven members had previously made the same throat-slitting gesture against Chen Ping, a fierce glint appeared in Wu Feng's eyes.

Like the Fire Dragon and Evil Fire Phoenix martial souls, the Red Dragon is a martial soul with a rather volatile temper.

The reason why Wu Feng was so peaceful under Chen Ping's command was simply because Chen Ping never let her suffer any injustice and always treated her with pure and innocent love.

But precisely because of this, when Wu Feng saw this member of the sect make a throat-slitting gesture towards Chen Ping, her anger towards him was even greater than when he made a similar gesture towards her.

Ye Canshang stared at her as well, his lips twisting back in a strange way until they reached his ears, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth and bright red gums.

This scene, resembling something out of a horror movie, looks incredibly creepy.

Meanwhile, the soul power within Wu Feng's body was stirring restlessly, clearly preparing for something.

"Game start."

The moment the referee waved his hand to announce the start of the match, Wu Feng moved.

Everyone clearly heard a loud "boom" coming from the competition stage.

With a muffled thud that could shake one's heart, Wu Feng shot straight toward his opponent like a red cannonball.

Along with it came Wu Feng's sharp shout, filled with killing intent—"Flame Dragon Armor, combine!"
